    A mechanic that actually gets the job done. Every other person I've taken my car to won't fix it but will break it further to try and scan me. Not this place. I love taking my car here - it gets fixed, the rates are realistic, and he's a nice guy who tells you the truth. He doesn't treat minorities like idiots and actually speaks to you respectfully. I don't care if I'm in another country - I will take my car to this man alone!!

    I have been taking cars here for years. It's been a long time since I needed to visit but my…read morevehicle abruptly began having an issue recently. I called them up, they told me to drop the car off and gave me a timeline for when they would look at it and contact me back. And, as always, they followed through. They told me what the problem was, what the timeline and estimated price would be, and asked if I wanted to proceed. They contacted me and got my car back in exactly the timeline they provided. I keep coming back here because the expertise is matched by compassion. Don't be put off by the location, the good quality of work they do has been consistent and reliable for me for well over a decade. Their pricing is reasonable and I have never been dissatisfied with their work.

    I took my drivable car to their shop, and their so-called "repair" ended up destroying it. I had to…read morehave the car towed to the dealership afterward. Their promises are empty--don't trust them under any circumstances. My car started shaking while idling, so I brought it to their shop. They quoted me $600 for a throttle body replacement, and I authorized the repair. However, things quickly went downhill from there. They began misrepresenting the condition of their work, claiming they had driven the car and the issue persisted, which required them to keep the car for the weekend. After two days, they finally called to inform me that the timing chain had failed, resulting in catastrophic engine failure and the car won't start. They quoted me $1,800 to fix the timing chain. Frustrated with their dishonesty, I had the car towed. A subsequent diagnosis from the dealership confirmed that the engine is damaged and needs to be replaced.

    In this day and age, finding a completely honest auto mechanic is like searching for a goose that…read morelays golden eggs. I've dealt with Bruce and his team of mechanics at My Car Guy Auto Repair several times, and to say that they are best would be an understatement. They give honest, upfront estimates of what needs to be repaired before they do any work your vehicle, which is at a far better price than most dealerships or other auto repair businesses offer. Bruce, and his team have extensive experience with all makes of Honda and Toyota vehicles. As an ASE Master Certified Technician specializing in Honda products, he strongly recommends using authentic auto parts from these two trusted brands, and not generic, third-party manufacturers. Likewise, I've had my Civic tuned up and it runs like a champ, at less than half the price quoted by three other auto shops in the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area. No matter what the make or model of vehicle you own, be it domestic or foreign, Bruce and his team of dedicated mechanics will repair it no matter what the problem is. The only kind of service he doesn't provide are front-end alignments. However, this may change in the future.

    The guys are pretty friendly and direct, have their own tow truck, and have been my "go-to"…read moremechanics for a couple of years.. However. They tend to charge on the rather high side of things and refuse to work with longtime customers on pricing or give a slight discount when multiple things are being done. Lastly, their work doesn't seem to last as long as it does when getting fixes done at a dealership, so your brakes will go quicker.. oil will NEED to be changed around 1.5k miles etc. They guarantee their work, kind of, but not for long and they're vague about specifics. I'd like to get more work done here, but it will be cheaper and last longer if customers went elsewhere.. So.. typical independent auto shop?
